Uphill you go by foot, downhill by gondola. The ALPIN8 event pushes participants to their physical and mental limits. Overcoming these is the goal of the event. Those who manage to rise above themselves define anew what they are capable of. Each participant is a single starter and must be at least 18 years old. The point is to complete the course, i.e. there is no timing. The route runs along gravel roads, meadows and narrow paths where loose stones may lie. Therefore, absolute surefootedness in the terrain is very important. In the age of the smartphone, almost everyone is familiar with topographic maps and GPS technology. Important: Even without technology, everyone must be able to orient themselves in alpine terrain, even if the weather and visibility are poor. Each participant guarantees to the organizer his full health fitness for the ALPIN8 event. It is discouraged to compete with pre-existing medical conditions or injuries. 2. catering There will be refreshment posts along the route. Regardless of this, each participant is responsible for having enough food, especially drinks and snacks or similar, with them at all times.  3. weather and route There is no guarantee of good weather. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each participant to bring and use equipment suitable for the weather. If the safety of the route deteriorates, especially for weather reasons, the organizer can change sections of the route at short notice or replace them with alternative routes. It is also possible for the organizer to pause or cancel the event due to weather or limited operation of the mountain railroad. 4. clothing / equipment The weather in the mountains can change abruptly. All participants must be appropriately dressed at all times. This means that each participant must always wear clothes suitable for the weather. In cold temperatures, warm clothing must be worn, and in the rain, at least a rain jacket must be worn. Notwithstanding the above, participants will have the opportunity to store parts of their equipment on the event site. This must be stowed in a bag and marked with your own race number. Each ascent is 520 meters in altitude. Accordingly, before each ascent, it is necessary to evaluate what equipment must be carried and what can remain on the event site. It is mandatory for each participant to have the following equipment available (mandatory equipment): – Closed trail running shoes or hiking boots with tread sole – Waterproof rain jacket – Warm clothes (top and long pants or leg warmers) – Gloves and cap – Functioning headlamp with spare batteries or accumulator, sufficient for min. 12 hours – Food packaging labeled with the race number – Cups for holding drinks at the refreshment points – Cell phone with stored emergency number for making emergency calls and for logging off in case of premature event termination (cell phone must also work abroad) Our tip: sunscreen, grease cream against chafing, sunglasses, poles, your own individual additional food and some money. 5. start number The start number, which is not transferable, will be given to each participant upon presentation of the identity card after confirmed registration and submission of the personally signed liability release declaration at the start (the wording can be downloaded beforehand after registration on the event homepage). The start number must be worn completely visible during the event. 6. briefing / start The event briefing will take place the day before the start at the event site. Here the organizer will inform the participants about special features of the route. Participation in the briefings is mandatory for all participants. On the start day, the event begins in the morning with a final briefing. After the start, participants in the EVERESTING have 34 hours to complete 8848 vertical meters (or 17 ascents), while participants in the EVERESTY have 20 hours to complete 4424 vertical meters (or 9 ascents). No scoring will take place after these time limits have expired. 7. markings of the route The route will be marked by the organizer (e.g. with chalk spray, signs, route tapes, flags, reflectors, etc.). Unfortunately, markings may be removed by animals or by third parties, may disappear or be obscured for weather reasons (rain, snow, wind, fog, etc.). Participants must be able to find the running route themselves using a navigation app or paper map. After the time limit of 34 hours has expired, the organizer’s final runners will walk the entire course again and point out to any participants still on the course that the event is over and that participants should dismount immediately; the course will then be closed and the markings on the course will be removed promptly. 8. refreshment points At ALPIN8 there are 3 refreshment stations along the route: one at the bottom station, one about halfway up the climb and one at the top station. Drinks, bars, fruit and other snacks are available at each aid station. Hot meals are available for purchase by participants at the Bistro at the valley station during opening hours. 9. medical checkpoints – medical check – triage Every participant is obliged to pass the medical checkpoint (triage) in the base camp before the start and to follow the instructions of the medical staff. If the organizer or the medical staff notice any abnormalities regarding the mental and/or physical performance, the organizer is entitled to prohibit the participant from starting or to remove the participant from the race. But here you can also get help or advice. 10. time limits The time limits are 34 hours for the EVERSTING (8848 vertical meters) and 20 hours for the EVERESTY (4424 vertical meters). The organizer is entitled to cancel the event at any time, e.g. due to weather conditions.    11. elimination from the event The organizer and his staff, in particular the race director, course director, the staff of the control and refreshment points, the medical crew and the final runners,
